 therapist: Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist, hypnotherapist
PTSD/Trauma

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist

Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Trauma sits in the body and the subconscious, not in the rational mind. For working with traumatic memories, I use the Rewind Technique, an evidence-informed, content-free approach that allows the nervous system to discharge the residue of a traumatic event without requiring you to relive it in detail. This pairs well with RTT for updating the beliefs that formed inside or after the event. If you have a formal PTSD diagnosis or are in active crisis, please work with a trauma-trained clinician as your primary support. I work alongside other providers and am happy to coordinate where appropriate.

Seattle, Washington therapist: Aaron Kapin, somatic experiencing practitioner
PTSD/Trauma

Aaron Kapin

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, trauma isn't the thing that happened 15 years ago (or last week), it's the ongoing effects that that incident continues to have on your body. We can work together to figure out how your body is still reacting to that incident, and work to help your body 'catch up' to the present moment. If you're safer now than you were then, there are ways we can help your body 'complete' the threat response from so long ago, and land in the comparative safety of the present moment. I can't treat PTSD, so if you've been diagnosed with PTSD you should still work with a licensed mental health professional, even as you work with me. What I can do is support your body in turning down the volume on that threatened feeling that has been coming up since the trauma-inducing events.

Richardson, Texas therapist: Jay Shaw, hypnotherapist
PTSD/Trauma

Jay Shaw

Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Unresolved trauma doesn't stay in the past it runs in the background of every decision, relationship, and stress response you have today. Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy works to neutralize the subconscious charge attached to past events, reducing triggers and rebuilding a nervous system baseline that isn't controlled by what happened before. This isn't about reliving the pain. It's about removing its authority over your present identity.

Virginia Beach, Virginia therapist: MindOverHealing Therapies, hypnotherapist
PTSD/Trauma

MindOverHealing Therapies

Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be instrumental in addressing trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Trauma often leaves deep emotional scars that manifest as anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened stress responses. Traditional therapeutic approaches may not always reach these deeply embedded issues, but hypnotherapy offers a unique avenue to access and heal the subconscious mind where trauma is often stored. Furthermore, hypnotherapy can help individuals build positive coping mechanisms and resilience. Techniques such as guided imagery and positive suggestion can instill a sense of safety and empowerment, replacing the negative emotions tied to traumatic events.

Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
Betrayal Trauma cam present with symptoms similar to PTSD - intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flooding, sleep disruption, anxiety, and difficulty feeling safe. When trust has been shattered through infidelity, sexual addiction, or chronic deception, the nervous system often remains in a prolonged state of threat response. I specialize in trauma-informed, partner-sensitive care that focuses first on stabilization and nervous system regulation before deeper processing. My work helps clients understand their trauma responses, reduce symptom intensity, establish protective boundaries, and regain a sense of internal safety. Healing is possibly when trauma is acknowledged and treated with informed, compassionate support.
